I ceramic coated the car with Kamikaze ISM Coat 3.0. Very user friendly.

The 10 Mil sounds like overkill, but if you use the car as a daily or track it then it really pays off in the end.

I took delivery of the car in Oct 2022, 24,700 miles and 2000 track miles on it.
In Virginia car cost to PPF with 10 mil was 5600.00 and 3 days. Well worth the expense. I had rubber and tread chunks hit the hood, see a rubber scuff, or bird taking a good crap on it and it cleans up well. It isnt "self healing (if there is such a thing)", but after cleaning up baked on bird crap and seeing the acid etching and thinking "glad it's ppf" ... several day later in the sun and I could not easily identify where the spot was. Two thumbs up. Also I didn't do the roof... doesn't live outside and not much danger from track and road debris hitting the roof.
